What Has Been Related From The Messenger of Allah About The Judge
Jami at-Tirmidhi
حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادٌ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الأَعْلَى، عَنْ بِلاَلِ بْنِ أَبِي مُوسَى، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " مَنْ سَأَلَ الْقَضَاءَ وُكِلَ إِلَى نَفْسِهِ وَمَنْ أُجْبِرَ عَلَيْهِ يُنْزِلُ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ مَلَكًا فَيُسَدِّدُهُ " .
Anas bin Malik narrated that the Messenger of Allah (sallAllahu Alayhi wa sallam) said: "Whoever Asks For A Position As A Judge, Then He Left On His Own. And Whoever Is Forced Onto It, Allah Sends An Angel Down To Him So That He Can Be Correct." (Daif)
